About
The stories Canada tells about itself have changed over the past decade with diverse perspectives begun to be added and a process of truth and reconciliation with Indigenous, First Nations and Metis peoples. This has been a flawed and imperfect journey and now new dynamics challenge the concept of Canada as a sovereign nation, and threaten to divert attention. Legal scholar Mayo Moran, inaugural Irving and Rosalie Abella Chair in Justice and Equality at the University of Toronto, has worked extensively on questions of justice, institutional responsibility and reconciliation including as chair of the Residential Schools Oversight Committee. Anishinaabe writer and broadcaster Jesse Wente’s bestselling Unreconciled: Family, Truth, and Indigenous Resistance challenged Canada to put truth before reconciliation and confront the colonial structures that endure today. His new book Tough Lies, asks What does healing from colonialism look like for First Nations and non-Indigenous people? In conversation with Philippe Sands, they ask what genuine accountability requires, how the barriers can be dismantled and whether Canada can be a country that can build a different future by reckoning fully with its past.
Rupture / Justice is a specially curated series of events examining the fault lines that are fracturing our times. Guided by Philippe Sands, award-winning author and one of the world’s foremost international lawyers, each event takes a thematic approach to bring together a panel of global voices to ask, when the world breaks, how can wounds be healed, who will tell the story, and where and when can justice be applied?
